Other Mysterious Deaths...
Lest We Forget

Death by gunshot to the head. Death by probable poisoning.
Death by probable strangulation. Deaths possibly by implantation of deadly
viruses. No one lives former. Yet the recent suspicious deaths of UFO investigators
Phil Schneider, Ron Johnson, Con Routine, Ann Livingston and Karln Turner,
as well as the deaths of a host of researchers in the past, only seem to
add emphasis to a reality with which many of the more aware UFOIogists
are now quite familiar: not only is UFO research potentially dangerous,
but the life span of the average serious investigator falls far short of
the national average.

Mysterious and suspicious deaths among UFO investigators
arc nothing new. In 1971, the well-known author and researcher Otto Binder
wrote an article for Saga magazine's Special UFO Report titled "Liquidation
of the UFO Investigators:' Binder had researched the deaths of "no
less than 137 flying saucer researchers, writers, scientists, and witnesses'
who had died in the previous 10 years, "many under the most mysterious
circumstances."

The selected cases Binder offered were loaded with a
plethora of alleged heart attacks, suspicious cancers and what appears
to be outright examples of murder. We will have occasion to refer to many
of these cases, but first let us take a look at more recent evidence of
highly suspect deaths among present day researchers.

Phil Schneider

No one has shook up more those who have been following
UFO fact and rumor the past low years than Phil Schneider. Schneider died
Januarv 17, 1996, reportedly strangled by a catheter found wrapped around
his neck. If the circumstances of his death seem highly controversial,
thev are matched by the controversy over his public statements uttered
recently before his death.

Phil Schneider was a self-taught geologist and explosive
expert. Of the 129 deep underground facilities Schneider believed the U.S.
government had constructed since World War II, he claimed to have worked
on 13. Two of these bases were major, including the much rumored bioengineering
facility at Dulce, N.M. At Dulce. Schneider maintained, "grey"
- humanoid extraterrestrials worked side by side with American technicians.
In 1979, a misunderstanding arose. In the ensuing shootout, 66 Secret Service,
FBI and Black Berets were killed along with an unspecified nurnber of "greys.
It was here he received a beam-weapon blast to the chest which caused his
later cancer.

(Note from Metatech.org editor Stephanie Relfe: I have
seen the scar from this weapon on one of Phil's videos. Contact Al Bielek,
PO Box 50045 Fort Myers FL 33994 if you wish to purchase Phil Schneider
videos).

If Schneider is telling the truth, he obviously broke
the code of imposed silence to which all major black-budget personnel are
subjected. The penalty for that misstep is presumably termination. Schneider
in fact maintained that numerous previous attempts had been made on his
life, including the removal of lug nuts from one of the front wheels of
his automobile. He had stated publicly he was a marked man and did not
expect to live long.

Some of Schneider's more major accusations are worthy
of attention:

(1) The American government concluded a treaty with "grey"
aliens in 1954. This mutual cooperation pack is called the Grenada Treaty.

(2) The space shuttle has been shuttling in special metals.
A vacuum atmosphere is needed for the rending of these special alloys,
thus the push for a large space station.

(3) Much of our stealth aircraft technology was developed
by back-engineering crashed ET craft.

(4) AIDS was a population control virus invented by the
National Ordinance Laboratory, Chicago, Illionois.

(5) Unbeknownst to just about everyone, our government
has an earthquake device: The Kobe quake had no pulse wave; the 1989 San
Francisco quake had no pulse wave.

(6) The World Trade Center bomb blast and the Oklahoma
City blast were achieved using small nuclear devices. The melting and pitting
of the concrete and the extrusion of metal supporting rods indicated this.
(Remember, Schneider's forte, he claimed, was explosives.)

Finally, Phil Schneider lamented that the democracy he
loved no longer existed. We had become instead a technocracy ruled by a
shadow government intent on imposing their own view of things on all of
us, whether we like it or not. He believed I l of his best friends had
been murdered in the last 22 years, eight of whom had been officially disposed
of as suicides.

Whatever we think of Phil Schneider's claims, there is
no denying that he was of peculiar interest to the FBI and CIA. According
to his widow, intelligence agents thoroughly searched the premises shortly
after his death and made off with at least a third of the family photographs.

Ron Rummel

Another recent disturbing case is the death of Ron Rummel,
ex-air force intelligence agent and publisher of the Alien Digest, on August
6, 1993. Rummel allegedly shot himself in the mouth with a pistol. Friends
say, however, that no blood was found on the pistol barrel and the handle
of the weapon was free of fingerprints. Also, according to information
now circulating, the suicide note left by the deceased was written by a
left-handed person. Rummel was right-handed. Perspiration on the body smelled
like sodium pentothal, or so it is alleged.

The Alien Digest ran to seven limited issues, all now
almost impossible to acquire. One thing is certain. Ron Rummel's magazine
was touching on sensitive issues such as the predator/prey aspect of the
alien/human relationship and the use of humans as food and recyclable body
parts. Did Rummel cross a forbidden line? It would seem so. But which line,
and where? Interestingly enough, one of Rummel's friends was Phil Schneider,
and the two had been collaborating.

Ron Johnson

An equally disturbing and more recent death is that of
Ron (Jerrold) Johnson, at the time MUFON's Deputy Director of Investigations.
Johnson was 43 years old and, it would seem, in excellent health. He had
just passed a recent physical examination with the proverbial flying colors.
However, on June 9, 1994, while attending a Society of Scientific Exploration
meeting in Austin, Texas, Johnson died quickly and amid very strange circumstances.
During a slide show, several people sitting close to him heard a gasp.
When the lights were turned back on, Johnson was slumped over in his chair,
his face purple, blood oozing from his nose. A soda can, from which he
had been sipping, was sitting on the chair next to him.

Did Ron Johnson die of a stroke? Possibly. An allergic
reaction? Another possibility.

Some of the more outstanding facts of Ron Johnson's life
might easily lead a more skeptical-minded person to a tentative conclusion
that his death was probably neither accidental nor natural. For instance,
his most recent job was with the Institute of Advanced Studies, purportedly
working on UFO propulsion systems. He had been formerly employed by Earth
Tech, Inc., a private Austin, Texas, think tank headed by Harold Puthoff.
It would appear he held high security clearances, traveled frequently between
San Antonio and White Sands, and had attended 2 secret NATO meetings in
the last year or so. One of those meetings, it is rumored dealt with ET
communications. Although advanced in years, there are some who believe
that Dr. Hynek's death was because of "strange circumstances,"
due to the high number of researchers who have died of brain tumors or
cancer. If all or most of the facts offered above are accurate, one thing
seems obvious: Johnson was walking both sides of the street. This in itself
was highly dangerous, and he may have paid the ultimate price in an attempt
to serve more than one master.

As for exactly what killed Ron Johnson, a number of possibilities
beyond natural ones present themselves. It is quite easy in this day and
age to induce strokes through chemicals or pulsed radiation. It is just
as easy, and has been for some time, to induce heart attacks and other
physical debilitations, such as fast-acting cancers. The best bet is that
Ron Johnson was eliminated by a quick-acting toxin, perhaps a nerve agent.
As for exactly why he was killed, we will probably never know. The autopsy,
somewhat ludicrously, has been officially classified as inconclusive.

Ann Livingston

As a side note, a nurse returning home from Austin shortly
after Johnson's death reported a similar death-situation aboard her plane.
When she tried to move rearward to offer her assistance, she was forcefully
restrained from doing so. Could it be, one wonders, that some agent, through
an accident, was the victim of his own machinations? The idea strikes a
nice note of poetic justice, if in fact that were the scenario.

Another death involving elements of high strangeness
is that of Ann Livingston, who died in early 1994 of a fast-form of ovarian
cancer. Livingston made her living as an accountant, but she was also a
MUFON investigator and had in fact, published an article entitled "Electronic
Harassment and Alien Abductions" in the November 1993 MUFON Journal.
The article was highly critical of Julianne McKinney, directorof the Electronic
Surveillance Project of the Association of National Security Alumni. McKinney
discounts U FO phenomena, believing that what passes for such is most often
one kind of governmental ploy or another, whether in the form of experimental
machinery or experimental psychology.

Some facts which seem relevant to the case stand out.
At 7:15 AM, December 29th 1992, Livingston's apartment close to O'Hare
airport, in Chicago, Illinois, was lit up brightly by a silverwhite flash.
She was accosted later in the day while in her apartment parking lot by
5 MIBs (Men in Black) which she described as being almost faceless and
carrying long, flashlight-like black objects. She was rendered unconscious.
What, we must ask, assuming her story is true, was done to her at this
time, and wh'? And did it have anything to do with her later rapidly-advancing
ovarian cancer?

It is not a well-known fact that Ann Livingston had been
previously abducted. Her friend, Fran Heiser, has stated that Ann Livingston
had met two handsome people, a man and woman, on an earlier trip to Mexico.
To Livingston's surprise, the man told her that the attractive young lady
she was meeting was in fact her daughter.

Karla Turner

Could genital intrusions from past UFO abductions have
poisoned in some way Ann Livingston's system? That is exactly the suspicion
Karla Turner (author of Maquerade of Angels, Taken, and Into the Fringe)
had about the breast cancer that preceded her death during the summer of
1996. Both publicly and privately, Karla Turner held up the specter of
alien retaliation for statements she made in print, especially in Masquerade
of Angels. How much her suspicions were founded in reality we will probably
never know. (A good site on Karla Turner is http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9923/karla.html

Who or what is killing UFO investigators now and in the
past? Probably some of the deaths presented here-that look at first glance
so suspicious---are in fact natural or accidental or self-inflicted because
of stress or mental imbalances. But, as Otto Binder noted more than 25
years ago, there are so many. Pure common sense, and good logic, should
lead us to believe that the high incidence of premature death in a field
which has a limited number of investigators is very disproportionate compared
to the population at large.

Spider Web of Causes

What we may have IS a concatenation, a spider web, of
interweaving threads which are causal and often, in fact, deadly. One thread
is the activities of the US (and other) intelligence agencies. Another
thread is possible ET involvement. A third thread is the involvement of
certain PSI-tech think tanks and private PSI/PK practitioners, including
negative occultists. A possible fourth thread is highly reactionary religious
cults which feel they are carrying out the will of God. It is more than
likely that one or more or all of the above agencies are responsible in
whole or in part for many of the deaths from the recent past, which have
already been mentioned and many of those remaining cases from the present
to the more distant past, some of which we will now explore.

Danny Casolaro

Danny Casolaro, an investigative reporter looking into
the theft of Project Promise software, a program capable of tracking down
anyone anywhere in the world, died in 1991, a reported suicide.

Casolaro was also investigating several UFO "NO-Nos"
Pine Gap, Area 51 and governmental bioengineering.

Mae Bussell

Not long ago, Mae Bussell, a gutsy, no-holds-barred,
investigative radio host died of a fast-acting cancer just like Ann Livingston
and Karla Turner. Bussell was acutely interested in UFOlogy.

The directors of APRO, Coral and Jim Lorenzen, a Tucson-based
UFO group, both died of Cancer. Deck Slayton

Deke Slayton, the astronaut, was purportedly ready to
talk about his UFO experiences, but cancer also intervened.

Brian Lynch

Brian Lynch, young psychic and contactee, died in 1985,
purportedly of a drug overdose. According to Lynch's sister, Geraldine,
Brian was approached approximately a year before his death by an intelligence
operative working for an Austin, Texas, PSI-tech company. Geraldine said
they told Brian they were experimenting on psychic warfare techniques.
After his death, a note in his personal effects was found with the words
"Five million from Pentagon for Project Scanate."

Capt. Don Elkin

In the '80s Eastern Airlines pilot Capt. Don Elkin committed
suicide. He had been investigating the UFO coverup for over 10 years and,
at the time, was deep into the study of the Ra material with ('aria Rucker.
There are reports of negative psychological interferences having developed
during this latter investigation.

Bizarre Death of Scientists

Certainly nothing is stranger, and breeds speculation
more quickly, than the 30-some-odd deaths associated with SDI (Star Wars)
research at Marconi Ltd. in England between approximately 1985-1988. Here
in capsulated form is a list of a few of the more bizarre deaths:

Roger Hill, a designer at Marconi Defense Systems, allegedly
commits suicide with a shotgun, March 1985.

Jonathan Walsh, a digital communications expert employed
by GEC, Marconi's parent firm, falls from his hotel room, November 1985,
after expressing fear for his life.

Ashad Sharif, another Marconi scientist, reportedly tied
a rope around his neck, and then to a tree, in October 1986, got behind
the wheel of his car and stepped on the gas with predictable results.

In March of 1988, Trevor Knight, also associated with
Marconi, died of carbon monoxide poisoning in his car.

Peter Ferry, marketing director of the firm, was found
shocked to death with electrical leads in his mouth (August 1988).

Also during the same month of the same year, Alistair
Beckham was found shocked to death with electric leads attached to his
body and his mouth stuffed with a handkerchief. He was an engineer with
the allied firm of Plessey Defense Systems.

And, finally, but by no means the sole remaining death
in this unique cluster, Andrew Hall was found dead in September of 1988
of carbon monoxide poisoning.

What, you may be asking, does SDI research have to do
with the deaths of UFO investigators? Theoretically, quite a lot. If, as
many investigators have hypothesized, Star Wars research was initiated
with the dual purpose of protecting "us" against Soviet aggression
and/or the presence of UFO craft in our atmosphere, then several possibilities
arise. Most compelling is the idea that the soviet KGB, realizing that
the Western powers were on the verge of perfecting a high-powered beam-weapon
that could be used from outer space or atmospheric space against them,
marshaled a last-gasp, all-out espionage offensive to slow or destroy the
project. If this scenario is true, and the weapon was indeed successfully
developed, we have an explanation for the collapse of the Soviet Union
("Surrender or you might be incinerated").

Other explanations have been offered. For example, scientists
working on the project discovered the true nature of the research they
were involved with and the overwhelming stress led them to suicide. Or
they discovered that their real collaborators were "greys," or
Western politicians working with/for grey aliens. One thing seems obvious.
Something went terribly wrong at Marconi. Scientists usually don't commit
the kinds of bizarre, "unscientific" suicides we find here.

One other possibility is that a contingent of unfriendly
ETs got wind of what GEC and Marconi and its affiliates were up to and,
to protect themselves, created enough psychic trauma within the minds of
many of the scientists to drive them to suicide. But if this is so, why
have the deaths stopped? Has the project been shelved? Highly unlikely.
The best bet is that the project was completed, roughly about 1988, and
whatever it is, beam-weapon or otherwise, it is now operational.

Certainly neither the public at large, and not even UFOlogists
generally, seem thoroughly aware of the real risks UFO investigators run.
In fact those UFOlogists who are aware of the suspicious deaths of some
of their colleagues in the 50s and 60s, seem to believe that whatever forces
and agencies that were then responsible have softened their tactics in
the `80s and `90s. The evidence, as we have indicated, does not seem to
support such a conclusion. There is no doubt, however, that the `50s and
`60s produced some strange goings-on.

Jessup and McDonald

Undoubtedly the most intriguing (and perhaps appalling)
deaths in UFOlogy were those of Dorothy Kilgallen, M.K. Jessup and Dr.
James McDonald - the former an alleged accident, the latter two purported
suicides. The details of these deaths, despite official pronouncements
to the contrary, are disturbing to say the least. Each of the three individuals
seemed to have much to live for, all were successful, and everyone of them
was deeply immersed in the relatively new UFO-phenomena proglem.

Dorothy Kilgallen

Dorothy Kilgallen was the most famous syndicated woman
journalist of her day. Stationed in England in 1954 - 55, and privy to
the highest levels of English society and its secrets, she wired two unusual
dispatches which may have contributed to her death. The first, sent in
February 1954, mentioned a "special hush-hush meeting of the world's
military heads" scheduled to take place the following summer. The
1955 dispatch, which barely preceded her death from an alleged overdose
of sleeping pills and alcohol (a la Marilyn Monroe), quoted an unnamed
British official of cabinet rank, `We believe, on the basis of our inquiry
thus far, that saucers were staffed by small men-probably under four feet
tall. It's frightening, but there is no denying the flying saucers come
from another planet.'

Whatever the source (rumored to be the Earl of Mountbatten),
this kind of leak in the atmosphere of the mid- 50s was an unacceptable
leak. It is well to recall that the secret CIA-orchestrated Robertson Panel
had met in 1953 and issued the Robertson Report. Briefly summarized, this
document-and the attitudes reflected there - represented a new hard-line
attitude to covering up all significant UFO phenomena. The year 1953 and
the meeting of the Robertson Panel truly initiated the UFO coverup as we
know it today, with a few extra dollops having been added.

Did Dorothy Kilgallen actually commit accidental suicide?
There appears to be an excellent chance she had help.

Dr. James McDonald, senior physicast, Institute of Atmospheric
Physics and also professor in the Department of Meteorology at the University
of Arizona, died in 1971 purportedly of a gunshot wound to the head. There
is no one who had worked harder in the 60s than McDonald to convince Congress
to hold serious, substantial subcommittee meetings to explore the UFO reality
of which he was thoroughly convinced. He was definitely a thorn in the
side of those who maintained the official coverup and, needless to say,
his passing to them would be a blessing.

McDonald, allegedly depressed, shot himself in the head.
But, alas, he didn't die. He was wheelchair-ridden but somehow, several
months after his first attempt, he allegedly got in an automobile, drove
to a pawnshop, purchased another pistol from his wheelchair, drove to the
desert and did himself in. How convenient, one might say, for his adversaries.
And McDonald, there can be no doubt, had made enemies. The question is:
How much did these enemies aid and abet the demise of this most worthy
and influential campaigner?

Astronomer MIL Jessup

When astronomer and archaeologist M. K. Jessup allegedly
committed suicide in Dade County Park, FL., in 1959 certain alarm bells
should have gone off. There is no doubt the well-known author of such influential
works as The Case for the UFO and The Expanding Case for the UFO had been
depressed. Things had not been going well for him, and he had, it must
be admitted, indicated his gloom to close friends, Ivan Sanderson, the
biologist, and Long John Nebel, the well-known New York City radio host.
Sanderson reported him disturbed by "a series of strange events"
which put him "into a completely insane world of unreality."

Was the reality Jessup was faced with at the time "completely
insane" or were there, perhaps, forces driving Jessup to the edge,
forces with a plan? Anna Genzlinger thoroughly investigated his death.
Her conclusion: "He was under some sort of control." Remember,
these were the days of secret governmental mind-control experiments which
have only recently been uncovered.

Certain facts about the case raise redflags. For example,
no autopsy was performed, contrary to the state law. Sergeant Obenclain,
who was on the scene shortly after Jessup's body was discovered, has said
for the record, "Everything seemed too professional." The hose
from the car exhaust was wired on; and it was, strangely, washing machine
hose. Jessup died at rush hour, with more than the usual amount of traffic
passing by. He had been visited by Carlos Allende three days before his
death and according to his wife, had been receiving strange phone calls.
We know the navy was very much interested in what he was doing; and we
all know, or should know, it is the ONI (Office of Naval Investigations)
that has been in the forefront, from the very beginning, of the UFO coverup.

And what of particular interest was Jessup investigating
at the time? Something that was top secret and would remain so for some
time: the Philadelphia Experiment. Dr. James McDonald tried to convince
Congress to look into the UFO situation. He died after shooting himself
a short while later.The late astronomer Dr. M.K. Jessup was the first to
reveal details of the Philadelphia Experiment-he died a few months later.
Frank Edwards

Frank Edwards, the noted news commentator, died of an
alleged heart attack on June 24, 1967, on the 20th anniversary of the Kenneth
Arnold sighting. Was that coincidence?

Probably not. Several other prominent UFOlogists died
the same day, Arthur Bryant, the contactee, Richard Church, chairman of
CIGIUFO and the space writer, Willie Ley. The circumstances surrounding
the death of Edwards, who like James McDonald was pushing for meaningful
Congressional subcommittee meetings, raise huge questions. It so happens
that a "World UFO Conference" was being held in New York City
at the Commodore hotel on that very day in June, chaired by UFO publisher
and author Gray Barker. Barker stated publicly that he had received two
letters and a telephone call threatening that Frank Edwards, who was not
in attendance, would not be alive by the conference's end.

It definitely looks like someone was sending a message.
As an unhappy sequel to this account, Rep. Rouse, who had been supporting
Edwards in his campaign for Congressional attention to the UFO issue, died
of a similar heart attack shortly afterwards.

The annals of UFOlogy are frighteningly filled with the
deaths of UFOlogists from unusual cancers, heart attacks, questionable
suicides and all manner of strange happenings. Did former Secretary of
Defense James Forrestal really commit suicide as purported by jumping out
a hotel window at about the time saucers may have been crashing down in
the southwestern desert? Was UFO writer Damon Runyon, Jr.'s suicidal plunge
off a Washington D.C. bridge in 1988 really an act of will? What really
happened to Dr. B. Noel Opan who, in 1959, after an alleged visit by MIBs,
disappeared, as did Edgar Jarrold, the Australian UFOlogist, in 1960.

How do we explain the rash of heart attacks that took
so many: Frank Edwards, Rep. Rouse, author H. T. Wilkins, Henry E Kock,
publicity director of the Universal Research Society of America, author
Frank Scully and contactee George Adamski? How do we correlate accurately
the large number of purported suicides, including: Rev. Della Larson, contactee,
author Gloria Lee (Byrd), Marie Ford, UFO enthusiast who discovered Larson's
body, researcher Doug Hancock, and, more recently, researcher Feron Hicks?
What do we do with the inordinately large number of cancer deaths which
pepper the UFO field and burn doubtful holes in our credulity: Canadian
researcher Wilbert B. Smith, Brazilian researcher Dr. Olavo Fontes, Jim
and Coral Lorenzen (photos are earlier in this article), and the deaths
of biologist Ivan Sanderson and CUFOS founder James A. Hynek (photo at
the start of this article) (both from rare brain cancer)?

Certainly not all of these individuals, as well as many
other less prominent researchers that space limitations do not allow us
to mention, were marked for termination. Many, perhaps most, died natural
deaths. But so many of the cases leave doubt; some seem to be branded by
the mark of Cain. We know now how easy it is to induce strokes and heart
attacks through chemicals, pulsed beams and microbes. We have learned that
the federal government was (and still is) involved in PSI-tech research.
An individual's mind is rather easily manipulated, and minds can be subtly
beaten like putty into despair and madness.

The late Ivan T. Sanderson passed away unexpectedly.
He was head of a major UFO/paranormal group! UFOlogy is not the safe, hobbyistic
pastime some would like it to be. There is danger, real danger in sticking
your nose in places where the powers that be don't want you to be. Many
of the deaths related above are highly suspicious. Some appear to be outright
murder.

What is the cause, who the villain? Again, it must be
emphasized that the "problem" is complex. Rogue intelligence
agencies, negative ET groups, freelancing PSI-tech firms, and reactionary
cultist groups all seem to play, or to have played, a part in the more
nefarious UFO-related events described here including the possible homicides
of UFO researchers in past decades as well as more recently. It seems highly
likely that sometimes one or more of these agencies may be working together,
either with or without the knowledge of the other's presence.

What can we do about such a state of affairs? Several
things. We can inform ourselves like good democratic citizens. And we can
inform others. We can and must raise a hue and cry when we suspect foul
play. If we are to protect our very lives and the democratic hopes we say
we cherish, then we must not go, silent and ignorant, into the night, pretending
an innocence we have not earned.

Since the above article was written there have been other
notable deaths in the field, including:

William Cooper Author of the classic book: "Behold
a Pale Horse"

www.HalTurnerShow.com 8 - 9 PM EST Monday Nights on WBCQ
7.415 MHz & 9-11 PM Tue. - Fri. on the Net SHOT DEAD! WBCQ SHORT-WAVE
RADIO TALK SHOW HOST WILLIAM "BILL" COOPER Eager, AZ -- Short-wave
radio talk show host William "Bill" Cooper was shot dead last
night during a gun battle with Sheriff's Deputies. According to Detective
Frank Valenzuela of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the shooting
took place at 11:40 PM outside of Cooper's home at 96 North Clearview Circle,
Eager, AZ.

Det. Valenzuela stated that Deputies from the Apache
County Sheriff's Department were attempting to serve an arrest warrant
upon Mr. Cooper. The Warrant, issued by the Round Valley Judicial Precinct
in Springerville, AZ charged Cooper with one Count of Aggravated Assault
With A Deadly Weapon, and two Counts of "Endangerment." The Warrant
was issued on August 29, 2001 for an incident which allegedly took place
on July 11, 2001. The Court Case Number on the Warrant is CR-01-0310. Neither
Valenzuela, nor the Apache County Attorney's Office would reveal the name
of the alleged victim(s). They did say the complaint was signed by Detective
Paul Kirkum of the Eager, AZ Sheriff's Dept.

According to Valenzuela, Police had intelligence that
Cooper had a large quantity of weapons in his home, and possibly explosives.
Valenzuela also said the police knew that during his radio show on WBCQ,
Cooper repeatedly stated that he "would kill any law enforcement officers
that tried to take him." As such, the Sheriff's Department wanted
to arrest Cooper away from his home, so as to minimize the possibility
of armed conflict.

According to Police, Cooper lived on a hilltop over looking
several undeveloped areas and other homes below. Despite not owning the
land below his home, Cooper was known to chase teenagers or young lovers
off the land and Police decided to use this to lure Cooper away from his
home. Det. Valenzuela stated that two undercover Sheriff's Deputies were
sent in a pick-up truck to the area below Cooper's home. There were also
two uniformed Deputies in the bed of the pick-up. As expected, Cooper drove
down to that area from his home and told the two undercover Deputies to
leave.

But Cooper left and drove away toward his home before
the undercover deputies could do anything. While on his way back up the
hill, a fully marked Sheriff's patrol vehicle blocked the road(1) in front
of Cooper. Uniformed members of the Sheriff's Department SWAT Team (2)
exited that marked vehicle and told Cooper to stop, keep his hands where
they could see them and exit the vehicle. They say Cooper placed one hand
outside his window, then accelerated around the police car, trying to run
over a Sheriff Sergeant. Police gave brief chase to Cooper's home.

Police say Cooper exited his vehicle, drew a handgun
and began firing at Deputies as he ran toward his house. One Deputy Sheriff
was struck at least once and possibly twice in the head.(3) Another Deputy
returned fire, hitting Cooper several times.

The wounded Deputy was evacuated by Helicopter to a hospital
in Phoenix. Cooper was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics who were
at the scene standing-by (4).

The following questions arise from this incident:

(1) Cooper would have had to pass the marked Police patrol
Vehicle while going down the hill. Why would he do so without seeing it
and fleeing? Further, how could he drive around it once it came onto the
road while Cooper was enroute back to his home?

(3) If Cooper drew a gun and fired "while running
back toward his home" as police say, how could he hit a Deputy once
and possibly twice in the head? A head-shot is a difficult thing to accomplish
with a hand gun, never mind two head shots while the shooter is running!

(4) Why were Paramedics "on the scene standing-by"
if Sheriffs intended this to be a peaceful arrest?

These questions make The Hal Turner Show wonder if Bill
Cooper was set-up (Editor's note: & mind controlled?) to be gunned
down, or just a victim of his own big mouth and prudent police planning?
We pray for the soul of Mr. Cooper, and for the life of the Deputy shot
in the head.

Stanley Kubrick

While not a UFO researcher, I feel that Stanley Kubrick
deserves a mention here. I believe that Stanley Kubrick, who died shortly
after the release of his movie "Eyes wide shut" was killed by
advanced technology. I believe that his earlier movie "2001 a space
odyssey" indicated that he was in alignment with the secret powers
that be. For example, it showed "The Black Block" which is worshipped
by masonry and is in the headquarters of the United Nations in New York.

However, people change. He didn't produce a movie for
twenty years before he produced "Eyes wide shut". This movie
was kept in super secrecy until it came out. Even reviewers did not see
it until the day it was released. Most people did not know what to make
of it. They didn't recognize it for what I believe it was, namely a documentary,
of the kind of religious rituals that the powers that be are involved in.
In the movie Tom Cruise is told towards the end something like "If
you knew who those people were, you wouldn't sleep at night". I believe
that Kubrick towards the end turned towards the good side, and wanted to
get information out to the people. I believe that Kubrick was killed by
advanced technology by people who he was once aligned with.

OR, was Kubrick's death more closely related to 9-11
and the World Trade Center. This farout-idea is supported by an article
at http://geocities.com/markamooky/2001_and_911.html

While on the subject of "Eyes Wide Shut" I
have wondered if Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were also punished for acting
in this movie, by breaking up their marriage. After all, the movie would
have been nowhere near as famous if they hadn't acted in it. The secret
government has technology they can beam at people to help break up marriages.
I am not alone in this thought. I have read elsewhere on the net: I'm sure
most readers will also be aware that it was the film which many considered
one catalyst for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's marriage break-up.

Dean Stonier

Dean was the organizer and promoter of the Global Sciences
Congress, that over the years hosted many top researchers including Phil
Schneider and Al Bielek, the sole survivor of the Philadelphia Experiment.
Dean died of a heart attack in August 2001, just a few months after a Denver
Global Sciences Congress.

Jim Keith

Jim Keith died in 1999. Author of many books including
Mind Control, World Control. Jim died in hospital during surgery to repair
a broken leg he achieved while attending the infamous Burning Man Festival
in Nevada. It seems a blood clot was released during the surgery and travelled
to the heart causing a pulmonary edema.

Ron Bonds

Ron Bonds sold conspiracies. The Atlantan published books
on unsolved mysteries and unexplained phenomena, from the Kennedy assassination
to the ominous black helicopters of the New World Order. In the subculture
of the paranormal, his reputation was such that writers for "The X-Files"
used to call him for ideas.

In April 2001, fifteen hours after eating a meal with
warm beef from a Mexican restaurant in Atlanta, after an agonizing evening
of vomiting and diarrhea, Bonds was taken by ambulance from their home
to Grady Memorial Hospital. During an autopsy, the medical examiner found
copious amounts of blood in the bowels, so he sent a stool sample to the
Georgia Public Health Laboratory in Decatur. The lab discovered high levels
of Clostridium perfringens Type A, a bacterium often seen in small quantities
in beef and poultry. When it occurs in larger quantities -- anything above
100,000 organisms per gram is considered unsafe -- it can release toxins
that cause diarrhea, vomiting and, rarely, hemorrhaging. The bacterium
figures in 250,000 cases of food poisoning a year, the CDC estimates, only
seven of which result in death.

Four days after Bonds ate there, epidemiologists visited
El Azteca to collect samples of ground beef from the steam table. When
C. perfringens becomes dangerous, it usually has to do with cooked meat
being held at too low a temperature. The lab found 6 million organisms
per gram -- 60 times the safety threshold.

One obvious question is: Why didn't other people get
sick too? More info here.

Philip K. Dick. (this came to me from a reader): Science
fiction author of Bladerunner and Minority Report. Had continuing contact
for several years, then died of a stroke under somewhat mysterious circumstances
on March 2 1982. He was writing a non-fiction book about his experiences
with alien contact. It was never published, and the manuscript has disappeared.

Final Word from editor Stephanie Relfe: Since the field
of UFO & secret government research seems to have a lot of danger attached
to it, it is highly recommended that people involved in this do so only
when they feel guided to do so by God and their intuition and higher self,
NOT because it is exciting or profitable, or because "the world needs
it". If you do what God wants you to do, I believe you will be given
protection. Joan of Arc was given protection and success in the early stages
when God was speaking to her. But later she continued on under her own
steam, not noticing that God did not tell her to do more than he originally
asked her to do, and she paid the price.
